Another round of lighter snowfall is likely this afternoon as an upper-level low pressure system tracks over North Carolina and Virginia. We expect 1″ to 2″ of additional snowfall (some isolated spots in heavier snow bursts could see closer to 3″ of wet snowfall). Temperatures will be above freezing while this snow falls, so treated roads should remain slushy.

32 degrees with freezing rain in RVA now. Oh, and wind gusts are up to 33 mph. Power outages will likely happen through this morning in some of your neighborhoods. We are on LIVE in less than an hour with everything you need to know to get through the rest of this Winter Storm.

I know we’re talking a lot about the snowfall accumulations, because that’s what will fall first. But there will also be the potential for significant ice accumulation overnight into Thursday morning! This would lead to a HIGH RISK of power outages from weighed down power lines and snapping trees. PREPARE NOW for power outages.
